What's the best CMS for small businesses or non-profits?

Ghost is very very good.

Exception tool. Highly recommend it!!!

WordPress is still a champion in this space

Doesn't need technical individual to setup

If you're familiar with Jekyll or Hugo, Forestry might be a good fit :)

If you want to go beyond simple websites and get more interactive, then take a look at the new Wix offering....

This is a great little CMS, highly recommended. Perch is lightweight, extensible and damn easy.

I've been using Perch for years now and highly recommend it. It's the perfect fit for any type of build, big or small. As Nils' stated above, it's also brilliant at retro-fitting existing sites too. Use as much of it or as little as you need – it'll always be fast, secure and easy to use. Support is second to none too.

Perfect for retro-fitting existing sites. But also capable of catering to huge projects. Then there's the Members App, the Shop App, the Blog App,… Absolutely love it.

Some people really like Squarespace but personally I find it a bit clunky.

Very useful if you need to sell things as well.

Webflow has great templates, the most powerful editor I've seen, and a super-simple content editor. Combined with good hosting options, and e-commerce integrations it's a platform well suited for non-profits.

We’ve done a bunch of projects using Craft CMS for non-profits from large content websites https://indiabioscience.org to single pagers like http://biglittlebookaward.in. The beauty of Craft CMS is that it does not come with any content / page structure assumptions, and you can hand craft each page or section, while providing a clean & simple admin interface to manage the content. Craft has a license fee, but the they offer help if the project finds it hard to fund it. Just write to them.

Tilda is a nice site builder with a handy editor and integrations with payment systems. It also has a code export feature to use it on your server.

Some non profits have rather large sites with lots of complex content taxonomy and hierarchy which Drupal handles well. Drupal is open source.

Kirby is a quite good for small websites, easy development, nice community and file based (no hustle with databases).

Weebly is a drag + drop builder which a lot of the less tech savvy folks seem to like.

Good foundational CMS, which a big variety of plugins. Slightly steeper learning curve than wordpress.

Same as Kirby with a bit different approach.

Statamic is one of the best flat-file CMS's -- its built on Laravel and the experience is truly exceptional for developers. Easy to use and customize for whatever your needs are.

If you would need something for more complicated projects.

WordPress FTW!

It looks great on desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones - jakweb template was built to shine on all devices. CMS is template based, create your own with only HTML and CSS knowledge.

Flexible, full-featured and powerful platform

Though Wordpress still rules the roost, but if you want to explore other options in detail. Here are several other budget options. https://www.yourtechdiet.com/blo...
